SERMONS OF MISSION PRIEST, FR. JOHN BRIANSunday and festival sermons are posted weekly for podcast or download

This Week:

Communion Openly

There is a scriptural reading from John chapter 6 that is the sublime teaching about Holy Communion. The Malankara-Syrian calendar also appoints a reading from Hebrew (end of Chapter 4 and beginning Chapter 5) that speaks about Jesus Christ as our high priest. Fr John Brian brings the mystical into the practical in this sermon.

This sermon lesson uses the readings and services appointed from the Malankara Syrian lectionary and was given on Sunday, July 18, 2010 by Fr. John Brian Paprock at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission Chapel, Madison, Wisconsin.

PreviouslyPsalm 20 - Disciple's PsalmSpeaking about disciples and apostles, Fr John Brian discusses the role of the called and anointed in the divine, mystical and wondrous works in this world. The lesson is a thread that can be seen in the Sunday liturgical readings from Matthew, Acts, and Corinthians - all leading to anappreciation of Psalm 20.
